I appreiate any comments on whether evo or mvvs 26GT gas engine is good enough for a 80" ws Dave Platt warbird.
Probably 16 to 20lbs when finished.
Thanks.

Not enough. It's only a 1.60, and a 1.60 gas has less power than a 1.60 glow. I also highly doubt that your plane will end up around 16-17 lbs.

Thanks, Richard.
Then which one?? The next size up is Evo 35GT. Is that good enough?

35cc should be enough. I'm flying my 18# 80" Zero with a 39cc, which is adequate. She can't seem to do a big loop without falling out at the top of the loop.
